Chickshaw Blues photos: Colour and squalor

Houhora police officer Tracee Knowler and Advocate reporter Kristin Edge (aka the Chickshaw Blues) are racing the length of India in a tuktuk - that's 3500km in two weeks in a three-wheeled vehicle described as a glorified lawnmower. Their aim, as well as getting to the finish line, is to raise money to provide counseling for Northland sexual abuse survivors. Photos by Kristin Edge.
